Why Can't We Prevent Type 1 Diabetes?: Maybe it's time to try a different combination

Why can't we prevent type 1 diabetes?: maybe it's time to try a different combination.

Type 1 diabetes is potentially preventable Both the name and that notion emerged in the mid-1970s, when it became clear that this form of diabetes has an autoimmune basis. Studies in identical twins showed that two of three initially unaffected cotwins would remain nondiabetic, an experiment of nature implying that type 1 diabetes was a disease involving a dose of happenstance, not solely of ge...

(How) can we prevent type 2 diabetes?

Strategies to prevent type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition resulting from T cell-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing cells in the islets of Langerhans. Its primary cause remains unknown, but it has been established that the clinical presentation is preceded by a long prodrome. This enables individuals at high risk of disease to be identified and offers the possibility of intervention to preven...

Designing a glycemic control strategy to maintain glucose homeostasis and prevent hypoglycemia for subjects with type 1 diabetes

This paper presents using the fractional PImDn controller module which manipulates insulin infusion rate to maintain normoglycemia in subjects with type 1 diabetes. To prevent severe hypoglycemia, a conventional proportional controller is used to regulate glucagon infusion rate when the blood glucose levels fall below a threshold. Two sets of controller parameters are obtained and evaluated. Fo...
